i think the KYB's are on the soft side but they should hold up. i wanted to get a stiffer ride so i went with the bilstein's(~$540). all this was not from first hand experience, just from what i heard. and the UAS is running pretty stiff.. dont know if its because of the bilsteins cause i have nothing to compare it to. could just be the bags themselves... iono

got to fix a few leaks and then install the fronts. i cant wait.

is there any specific pictures you guys are looking for?
Are u sure that's the right air pressure measurements? I drive around with around 90PSI and that's low.

I'm thinking maybe you have the 0-400psi air sensors and have not programmed the digital meter for them.

Yeah I didn't know either at first. But yeah the digital meter has to know which sensors you have, 0-150psi or 0-400psi.

actually, this picture was for my old IS300. the coilovers were CST.
